We have studied energetic neutral atom (ENA) disturbances during the magnetic storm main phase that occurred on October 3,2001, using the ENA data from the HENA instrument onboard the IMAGE spacecraft. We find that the main phase is characterized by five ENA enhancement events that occurred quasi-periodically. The repetitive ENA enhancements are most significant in the highest energy (138-222 keV) oxygen channel and become less significant for hydrogen and in lower energies. Also they are separated by ${\sim}1.2$ to ${\sim}1.7$ hrs, which is well below an average period usually seen for other repetitive injection events.

In this study, the nature of nonlinear field line resonances (FLR) is studied by adopting full MHD simulations. The MHD code used here is based on the total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme and we have performed numerical simulations of FLR with its three-dimensional code. If the source perturbation is strongly impulsive and thus the timescale of the initial variations is sufficiently smaller than the convection timescale, FLRs are easily confirmed in these simulations. When the disturbance is sufficiently small, it is shown that linear properties of MHD wave coupling are well reproduced. In order to examine nonlinear nature of FLR, wave spectra, Poynting flux and energy distribution are studied at resonances as the magnitude of initial disturbance gradually increases.

1RXS J062518.2+733433. The X-ray data was obtained in April 6, 2006 with the XMM-Newton and the optical data with CCD R filter at the 1m telescope of the Lemonsan observatory in 2005-2006 for 11 nights. This source is classified as a magnetic cataclysmic variable with a spin period of 1187.3 s in the optical region. We determine the spin period to be $1187.26\pm0.11$ s using the X-ray data, which is well consistent with the optical studies. However, we find that the pulse profile of the data (0.2-10 keV) folded at the period is different from the quasi-sinusoidal optical profile and is dependent on the selected X-ray energy bands. The results of period searching with times of extrema will be also presented.

To reproduce the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of young stellar objects (YSOs), we perform radiative transfer model calculations for the circumstellar dust disks with various shapes and many dust species. For eight sample objects of T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be stars, we compare the theoretical model SEDs with the observed SEDs described by the infrared space observatory and Spitzer space telescope spectral data. We use the model, CGPLUS, for a passive irradiated circumstellar dust disk with an inner hole and an inner rim for the eight sample YSOs. We present model parameters for the dust disk, which reproduce the observed SEDs. We find that the model requires a higher mass, luminosity, and temperature for the central star for the Herbig Ae/Be stars than those for the T Tauri stars. Generally, the outer radius, total mass, thickness, and rim height of the theoretical dust disk for the Herbig Ae/Be stars are larger than those for the T Tauri stars.

This study reports one approach for the classification of magnetic storms into recurrent patterns. A storm event is defined as a local minimum of Dst index. The analysis of Dst index for the period of year 1957 through year 2000 has demonstrated that a large portion of the storm events can be classified into a set of recurrent patterns. In our approach, the classification is performed by seeking a categorization that minimizes thermodynamic free energy which is defined as the sum of classification errors and entropy. The error is calculated as the squared sum of the value differences between events. The classification depends on the noise parameter T that represents the strength of the intrinsic error in the observation and classification process. The classification results would be applicable in space weather forecasting.

A magnetosonic wave is a longitudinal wave propagating perpendicularly to the magnetic fields and involves compression and rarefaction of the plasma. Lee and Kim (2000) investigated the theoretical solution for the evolution of nonlinear magnetosonic waves in the homogeneous space which adopt the approach of simple waves. We confirm the solution using a one-dimensional MHD code with Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) scheme. Then we apply the solution for the solar wind profiles. We examined the properties of nonlinear waves for the various initial perturbations at near the Lagrangian (L1) point. Also we describe waves steepening process while the shock is being formed by assuming different timescales for a driving source.

The W₅-curvature tensor has been studied in the space- time of general relativity. The space-time satisfying Einstein's field equations with cosmological term and vanishing W₅-curvature tensor has been considered and it has been shown that metric tensor is proportional to the energy-momentum tensor. The existence of Killing as well as conformal Killing vector fields have been shown. Further for a W₅-flat perfect fluid space-time satisfying Einstein's field equations, the isotropic pressure has been found to be the function of cosmological constant and non-zero gravitational constant.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has been developing the space optical and laser tracking (SOLT) system for space geodesy, space situational awareness, and Korean space missions. The SOLT system comprises satellite laser ranging (SLR), adaptive optics (AO), and debris laser tracking (DLT) systems, which share numerous subsystems, such as an optical telescope and tracking mount. It is designed to be capable of laser ranging up to geosynchronous Earth orbit satellites with a laser retro-reflector array, space objects imaging brighter than magnitude 10, and laser tracking low Earth orbit space debris of uncooperative targets. For the realization of multiple functions in a novel configuration, the SOLT system employs a switching mirror that is installed inside the telescope pedestal and feeds the beam path to each system. The SLR and AO systems have already been established at the Geochang station, whereas the DLT system is currently under development and the AO system is being prepared for testing. In this study, the design and development of the SOLT system are addressed and the SLR data quality is evaluated compared to the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) tracking stations in terms of single-shot ranging precision. The analysis results indicate that the SLR system has a good ranging performance, to a few millimeters precision. Therefore, it is expected that the SLR system will not only play an important role as a member of the ILRS tracking network, but also contribute to future Korean space missions.

This paper introduces balancing energy and memory consumption for lifetime increase of wireless sensor network. In cluster-based wireless sensor network, sensor nodes adjacent of cluster heads have a tendency to deplete their own battery energy and cluster heads occupy memory space significantly. If the nodes close to region where events occur frequently consume their energy and memory fully, network might be destroyed even though most of nodes are still alive. Therefore, it needs to balance network energy and memory with consideration of event occurrence probability so that network lifetime is increased. We show a method of balancing wireless sensor network energy and memory to organize cluster groups and elect cluster heads in terms of event occurrence probability.

Elastica is known as classical curve that is a solution of variational problem, which minimize a thin inextensible wire's bending energy. Studies on elastica has been conducted in Euclidean space firstly, then it has been extended to Riemannian manifold by giving different characterizations. In this paper, we focus on energy of the elastic curve in a Lie group. We attepmt to compute its energy by using geometric description of the curvature and the torsion of the trajectory of the elastic curve of the trajectory of the moving particle in the Lie group. Finally, we also investigate the relation between energy of the elastic curve and energy of the same curve in Frenet vector fields in the Lie group.
